Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 17, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,617 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 599. Most cyclists arrived from the east (616 of 1,061). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,721 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,551). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
